Default Watch that double sided tape...
Spooling up today and just about to lift off and I see someting come loose...

It's tha main sensor so throttle back and shut her down. Lucky it came unstuck just beofre lift off.

Guys, check that double sided tape - it doesn't last forever as I found out.

I found the included double-sided tape prone to drying out and disintegrating over the time, suggest you use this instead:

I use tape AND tie-wrap. I also put CA glue on tie-wrap/boom junction to prevent rotation of the sensor on the boom (both vertical and horizontal sensors)

Just search for tie-wrap in Google-image.
I think some call them zip-tie

Yep, know what a tie-wrap is just wondering how you secure your Main Sensor with them.
